The Rugby Tavern is traditional English pub so named because it was built around 1850 on land donated by the founder of Rugby School.

An innovative new cask ale collection, No.18 Yard Brewhouse, and a bold re-design for the established seasonal ale range are just a taste of what’s in store from Britain’s oldest brewer Shepherd Neame’s 2014 cask ale calendar. The calendar offers a choice of 14 ales throughout the year, including celebration brews and the brewery’s heritage ale brands - a beer for every month of the year and more!

The Gate Inn is a complete one-off, a wonderful little gem, and one of Kent's best kept secrets. Fine cask ales served direct from the barrel in the traditional tap room, and hearty freshly made food at sensible prices, make The Gate the perfect pub for both for the friendly locals, and for 'real' pub fans from far and wide.
